Yu Moose did not bring too much trouble to Huang Zhong.

In fact, when the rout of Wangxian brought the news of Xiahou Yuan's capture to Yulu, the entire Yulu fell into an inexplicable panic.

In this case, Huang Zhongbing came outside the city.

The Yu Elk Cao army barely put up any resistance and surrendered the city.

The capture of Yumok not only means that the Han army has opened the gateway to Guanzhong, but also indicates that Cao Ren will face the situation of being attacked on his back. Subsequently, Zhao Yun ran 200 miles to conquer Duyang. That Du Yang's guards are not even as good as Yu Moose. After Zhao Yun arrived in Duyang, he only shot an arrow book, and Du Yangchang opened the city and surrendered that night. Yu Elk and Du Yang fell one after another, which also surprised Cao Ren and was a little at a loss.

He never expected that Xu Shu would play such a drama.

On the surface, it was a strong attack on Qi County, but in fact, it was going to attack Wei County. What's more, Xiahou Yuan was captured alive, which also put Cao Ren in a difficult situation. Continue to stick to Qi County? It doesn't seem to make much sense...... What's more, Zhao Yuntun's soldiers Du Yang can attack the flank of Qixian at any time; But if the troops are withdrawn like this, it is a little unreasonable! However, Cao Ren is Cao Ren after all, and when he encounters something, he will be very decisive. The day after learning that the Han army had entered Guanzhong, Cao Ren ordered the withdrawal of troops from Qi County.

"Zidan, you immediately rush to Yi County, and defend Yi County with me, and you must not let the Han army advance an inch."

Cao Ren brought Cao Zhen and gave him instructions.

Cao Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then bowed down to receive the order, "General rest assured, it is really in Yixian, and it is really dead in Yixian." ”

In ten words, he expressed the determination in his heart. But in Cao Ren's ears. But I didn't feel much joy. Instead, there was a faint apprehension. Cao Zhen likes to be more serious. In case Yixian can't hold it, he is likely to live and die with Yixian.

Although Yixian is important, it is not the result that Cao Ren wants to see.

So after hesitating for a moment, he said softly: "Zidan, you are the talent of my Cao clan's pillars, and you must not die lightly."

Even if Yixian is lost, there is no need to worry too much...... If Yixian can't hold on, you will immediately retreat to Wugong. I will send soldiers and horses to garrison martial arts. We're here to help. No matter what, if you are alive, you will still have a chance to be ashamed, if you really die in Yixian, there will be no chance. ”

Cao Zhen hesitated and nodded slightly.

Immediately, Cao Ren ordered the withdrawal of Qi County and led his troops to return to Chang'an quickly.

After Wei Yan got the news, he did not listen to Xiahou Lan's dissuasion and led his troops to pursue, but was ambushed by Cao Ren at Gukou. If it weren't for the timely rescue of the sheep. Wei Yan almost died in Taniguchi. Subsequently, Cao Ren set up a heavy army at the mouth of the valley to defend against the Han army. He personally led the army back to Chang'an to pacify the situation in Chang'an. After all, the Xiliang army invaded Guanzhong, which made people in Chang'an City panic.

No one could figure out when the Xiliang army would come to the city, so many people fled with their families.

After Cao Ren arrived in Chang'an, he first stabilized the situation.

Immediately, he sent someone to Xudu to deliver a letter and inform Cao Cao of the situation in Guanzhong.

Cao Ren did not ask Cao Cao for reinforcements, because in his opinion, Cao Cao is also a great enemy now, and the troops in his hands are not very sufficient, so it is estimated that it will be difficult to send reinforcements. If you want to defend against the Han army, you can only find a way by yourself. After Cao Ren sent messengers, he ordered troops to be recruited in Chang'an, and sent troops to Maoling and Huaili to strengthen the defenses of the two places. If Cao Zhen could not resist the attack of the Han army, he could only rely on the terrain of Huaili and Maoling to hold on to Chang'an...... But even so, Cao Ren's heart was not very calm.

He has followed Cao Cao for a long time and experienced countless large and small wars.

To be honest, Cao Ren has never been so nervous as he is at this moment...... The reason is simple! The offensive of the Xiliang Army was too strong.

"It's only been three days!"

Cao Ren paced back and forth in the Chang'an Mansion, his face pale.

"Dezu, I know Zidan's temperament very well, if it weren't for the tight war, he would never ask me for help.

Unexpectedly, the Xiliang army was so fierce, and Zhong Miao Lao'er sent another 30,000 people to Guanzhong...... I'm worried that Zidan won't be able to hold on. ”

In the side hall, a man in his thirties and quite handsome appearance sat aside.

When he heard Cao Ren's muttering, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I heard that the Xiliang Army used many new weapons this time, although I didn't hear that they used Heavenly Thunder Fire, but they brought in five hundred winch crossbows. The power of the winch crossbow, I have heard it mentioned, was terrifying. It is said that within 300 steps, it can penetrate the iron armor...... Although Yixian is strong, it is probably difficult to resist in the face of this kind of winch crossbow. If Zidan continues to stick to Yixian, it is likely that there will be a situation where the city will be broken and people will die, and a decision must be made as soon as possible. ”

The young man is none other than Yang Xiu, the son of Yang Biao, the former lieutenant.

In the third year of Jian'an, Yang Biao was imprisoned and almost died in prison. Later, thanks to the rescue of relatives and friends, he finally escaped from the tiger's mouth.

Prior to this, Yang Biao had always been loyal to the Han family and had always hoped to help the Han Emperor take power.

But after experiencing that disaster, Yang Biao was obviously afraid, let alone continuing to fight against Cao. After four years of Jian'an, Yang Biao returned to Hongnong's hometown to recuperate, closed his door, and did not contact anyone. However, he still let Yang Xiu stay in Xudu, and also hoped that Yang Xiu could have a future. Originally, Yang Xiu had a good life in Xudu, because he was brilliant and extremely witty, so he was even valued by Cao Zhi. It's just that when he was in the seventh year of Jian'an, Yang Xiu suffered from an illness and returned to Hongnong's hometown to recuperate.

After Xiahou was Jing Zhaoyin, he recruited Yang Xiu as a long history.

I have to say that Xiahoudun has done a good job at this point...... Although Yang Biao resigned and did not go out, the Hongnong Yang family, as a Jingzhao clan, its power should not be underestimated. In the Guanzhong area, Hongnong Yang's status can definitely be among the best. Yang Xiu is known for his talent and has been recognized by the Guanzhong family. After Xiahoudun conquered Yang Xiu, he also received the support of the Guanzhong clan in a great way.

After Xiahoudun left Guanzhong, Cao Ren took over Jing Zhaoyin.

However, Yang Xiu's status did not change because of this, but as time went by, he became more and more valued by Cao Renqi......

He is right, the city wall of Yixian County is very different from the Tiger Prison Pass.

Not to mention. Cao Peng in order to defend against the attack of the Han army. After arriving at the Tiger Prison Pass. He also ordered people to strengthen the thickness and height of the walls of the Tiger Prison Pass.

In this case, the Tiger Prison is still in jeopardy.

Then the defense strength is far inferior to that of Yixian, which is in the Tiger Prison Pass, and naturally it cannot resist it......

"However, the battle between the two armies is in full swing, and Zidan probably won't dare to retreat rashly."

Cao Ren didn't know that if Cao Zhen continued to stick to Yixian, he would be more than lucky. It's just that the two sides are at war. A retreat on either side could trigger a large-scale rout. If this situation really occurs, even Cao Ren will not dare to bear the consequences.

Yang Xiu pondered for a moment, got up and said, "The general is waiting to be repaired, and he is known for his kindness.

So far, it has not made an incontribution...... If Zidan continues to stick to Yixian, I am afraid that there will be danger. But if you retreat, the situation will be even worse. Xiu Yuan went to Wugong to cover the evacuation of General Zidan. Then he cultivated martial arts to resist the Western Liang army. Try to get fighters for the general. ”

"This ......"

Cao Ren hesitated for a moment and said softly, "Dezu has this heart. I can't thank you enough.

But the problem is that I don't have too many soldiers and horses to deploy now, so if Dezu goes to Wugong......"

Cao Ren is telling the truth!

There are about 100,000 troops in Guanzhong, which sounds like they are abundant. But the problem is that these more than 100,000 troops have to be stationed at various passes. Longmen Mountain must garrison soldiers and horses to defend against Hedong soldiers and horses. Even if Du Ji is not in Hedong now, there is still a large army stationed in Hedong, eyeing Guanzhong; In addition, Zuo Fengyi also had to garrison troops and horses to contain the enemy of the state; Maoling and Huaili need to be garrisoned with soldiers and horses, and Chang'an must also be garrisoned by soldiers and horses, otherwise there will be chaos...... There is a garrison on the left and a garrison on the right, and in the end, Cao Ren calculated, and there were very few soldiers and horses available in his hands. In this case, even if Yang Xiu is willing, how can he rescue Cao Zhen?

Who knows, Yang Xiu laughed when he heard it.

"The general is too underestimated by my Hongnong Yang family......

Although the Yang family's prestige is not as good as before, there are still thousands of servants.

I have ordered 3,000 servants to be sent from Hongnong, and they are ready to be dispatched by me. As long as the general gives an order, there is no need for the general to send a single soldier, Xiu can go to Wugong to meet Cao Zidan. ”

Cao Ren couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this.

He nodded again and again: "Since this is the case, then you have to bother Lao Dezu." ”

Luoyang, Tonghuo Lane.

Sima Fang suffered from the wind chill for the past two days, so he was quite unwell.

Since Sima Fu left Luoyang, Sima Fang felt a little uneasy. But when you think about it, it doesn't seem to be a problem...... With the start of the Battle of Tiger Prison and Cao Cao's return to Luoyang, Sima Fang's panic became more and more intense.

When I was old, and I had something in my heart, I fell ill on the couch.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of doctors in Luoyang City, and the diagnosis and treatment are timely, and there is no major problem......

But even so, Sima Fang still felt weak. So he closed the door and thanked the guests, stayed at home all day to recuperate, and did not go out of the door, and did not step out of the second door.

On this day, the sunset shone on Tonghuo Alley.

A cloud rises on the surface of the Luoshui River, shrouding the copper camel alley, looming.

Sima Fang took a hot bath, changed into clean clothes, and went up to the Xizhao Pavilion...... Every year in the Mid-Autumn Festival, the scenery of the copper camel sunset is extremely beautiful, and it is also the scenery that Sima Fang never gets tired of seeing. He leaned on the railing, holding a cup of hot tea, looking out at the Luoshui style outside the building.

At this moment, a sound of footsteps came, disrupting Sima Fang's thoughts.

He was a little unhappy in his heart, and turned his head to look, but it was the fifth son Sima Sui who came up the stairs.

Sima Xun, fifteen years old, has a prominent appearance.

After he ascended the stairs, he first bowed down to Sima Fang and said his guilt, and then said softly: "Father, there is an old friend who claims to be Yingchuan outside who has come to ask to see him. ”

"Nope!"

Sima Fang was unhappy in his heart, and his tone was not very polite.

What is an old friend of Yingchuan...... I'm in Yingchuan, where do I have any old friends?

Sima Sui hurriedly said: "Father, the man said that my father would definitely say this, so he handed me a book and said that he wanted to return it to his father." ”

Book?

Sima Fang was stunned for a moment, and then stood up.

"What book?"

Sima Sui hurriedly handed a book to Sima Fang, Sima Fang took it and looked at it, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he blurted out: "Where is that person now?" (To be continued)
